Siblings
Siblings can love one another and still compete, feel jealous, get angry, and fight. The goal is not a home without conflict, but helping them learn to relate without turning the adult into a permanent judge.
When they fight constantly
Not every conflict needs the same intervention.
When there is physical aggression, first stop the harm. Afterwards, you can understand what happened and work on repair and alternatives.
When jealousy appears
Jealousy does not make a child bad, and it does not automatically mean the sibling relationship is going badly.
It helps to avoid comparisons and make space for each child’s needs without turning affection into a competition.
If a new sibling is arriving
Preparing does not mean making sure your child is happy about it all the time.
Excitement and discomfort can exist together. Keeping connection, routines, and a sense of their own place in the family can help during the change.
Tell Kora what happens between your children, when it tends to happen, and how you usually step in. Sibling relationships develop within a specific family system.
